MILE. RHEA
Another fashionable audience greeted
Mile. Rhea at Portland Theatre last evening,
when the lady appeared in her new play of
Fairy Fingers" The name of the play is
derived from the fact that the dresses made
by the establishment of Hortense are so
beautiful as to appear to be the work of fairy
fingers. As all society comedy dramas
should be, FAIRY Fingers" is bright and
sparkling, and well calculated to entertain,
If not to lntensly interest or pleasingly in
struct. Rhea's impersonation was another
triumph to her already successful engage
ment. AS the happy milliner, she acted
with brilliancy and vivaciousness that is
really her own. The several characters
were well sustained, and the action through
out, thus making the success above noted.

peculiar experience in the booming town
OF Birmingham, Alabama. He took quar-
ters at the Florence Hote! and was called
on by many Republicans and Democrats
Also by appointment came colored clergy
men and editors called and the proprietor
OF the hotel refused 10 permit them to 20
to Senator sherman's room. When Mr..
Sherman heard OF this and had confirms.
ton OF it, he paid bis bill and bound &C.
commodatiana where he could receive
whom he pleased.
The proprietor Of the hotel ID one Tom
Gown, who is esld to have been q gallant
susler in the Confederate army. He
boasted OF the stand he hsd taken, and
some empty.hcads OF his party rushed in
to tell him he wss great and good man.
Anybody who happens to bo paeaing that
way will know Of good hotel to psss by.
Occurrences OF this kind arc very un.
fortunate. Thsy are likely TO be taken as
indicating the illibsrality Of the people ol
